Well as some of you know, I was sacked a little over two months ago for petty reasons that have now been finally resolved. I started my first day today as a public servant, the pay is low and the hours are long....but I couldn't be happier

Thanks guys, yep you picked it Fieldy . Just another 3 weeks in the classroom to go before I do any real work. Jor the first week of the mega commute kills my soul a little bit at a time, the work is fun though and have met some really nice people.

Ah thats nothin' - my Dad's benn driving to Smithfield 5 days a week for 10 years (now working from home for 2 days) and while its usually about 1.5 hours it often gets to 2! But yes, commuting still does suck, like simmo said at least you can read or something, which is a bonus.

Hasn't been my experience thus far, studying and commuting from the Coast each day is starting to take it's toll. Just having a bit of a whinge really, but the package that was presented to me via training and the interview process is in stark contrast of what actually happens.
